Monday December 9, 2019

Today we had IGNITE, a group meeting, literacy centers or read to self/read to someone and guided reading.  Winter and Summer groups went to music and they are working hard to prepare for the winter concert.  The afternoon performance does not require tickets but the evening one does.  We ask that only ticket holders come in the evening.  We can't have children on laps as that increases our numbers (fire restrictions).  I know some of you have concerns or questions regarding that and you can contact the office or check today's Monday Connect for more information.

Today during our word work time, the Winter group did a matching game for the /ip/ and /ing/ word families.  The Autumn group worked on rhyming pairs and sorting out word families then moved onto one word family and started generating words for that word family.  The Summer group worked on spelling a variety of words independently.  All three groups engaged in a read aloud: A Moose In A Maple Tree or The Snowy Day or The Pout Pout Fish and the Big Bad Bully.  Ask your child which story they engaged in.

Ask your child about gym (Green Fools) today.  We had lots of fun with the slack lines and barrels!

For the Summer group that goes on their field trip to Ralph Klein Park tomorrow:  Please ONLY pack a lunch, snack and water bottle.  We need to be able to fit our visual journals and our indoor shoes in our backpacks.  Please dress for the weather as we will be outside.

Reminder from Autumn group: please return your field trip forms for their trip on Monday December 16th.

Winter Group: We are still desperately looking for some more volunteers for our trip on this Thursday.  Please email Ms. Disher if you can come and have your clearance.

Green Fools Residency:  There is no formal performance for showcasing the work from kids.  Please check the physical education blog link for information if you would like to come and see what we have been doing in an informal way: https://ehsphysicaleducation.blogspot.com/




Have a fantastic day!
